Flowers and Fashion...

Arrived a little early for the AWC tour of a fashion exhibit at the Rijksmuseum, which gave me the perfect chance to see the lovely tulips placed in the Museumplein fountain in honor of Tulip Festival, featuring 500,000 tulips planted all around the city.
The exhibit showcased Dutch fashion from 1625 through 1960 in six different galleries. I especially liked the catwalk.
This was definitely the most fascinating outfit: a wedding dress from 1759. Can’t imagine how the bride managed to sit down for dinner wearing this 6.5-feet (2-meter) wide dress which also had a long and wide train.
It was nice to see some flowers in bloom on the train ride home.
